Default Re: Automobile: why dont a differential is used in three wheelers

There is of course a differential but not in the conventional form. only one of the rear wheels gets power from the engine. The other one is free to rotate. that makes them independent of one another and thus taking turns is no problem. The same applies to cycle rickshaws.
